How many offspring can a koala have in its lifetime?

Answer 1

Koalas breed from September to February. Females breed from 2 years of age, although some only begin reproducing at age 3, while males breed from 3-4 years after they have established their own territory. Thirty-five days after mating, the female produces one joey weighing about 0.5 grams and about 2 cm long.

Koalas usually have just one joey per breeding season: twins are very rare. A female koala produces an average of 5-6 offspring in its lifetime.

Answer 2

Koalas usually have just one joey, once a year or once every two years. Twins are very rare.

Female koalas are able to breed from the time they are about two to three years old, and they may produce a total of five to six joeys during their lifetime.

Answer 3

Koalas usually have just one baby at a time, but twins are not unknown.

Females breed from 2 years of age, and over their lifetime tend to have an average of 5-6 offspring. They breed just once a year.

Answer 4

Koalas produce a single offspring, once a year. On very rare occasions, they may produce twins. Their reproductive years generally span from about age 2 or 3 to age 9 or 10. Therefore, the average number of joeys a koala is likely to have during its lifetime is about 6 or 7.

Answer 5

Koalas breed once a year. They usually give birth to a single offspring, although twin have been recorded, on rare occasions.

Answer 6

Answer 7
